Inventor: HENRARD BARTHELEMY
IPC: B61L11/00
Filed: 1910-02-04
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 2810. Henrard, B., and LÚveque, L. Feb. 4. Electrically operated from or by vehicle.- Relates to point-operating arrangements f o r electric railways and tramways of the type in which the points are electrically operated from or by the vehicles, and consists in making the selection of t h e route during the journey wholly automatic. Fig. 6 shows diagrammatically one arrangement by which a vehicle coming from the left hand may select any one of the four routes A, B, C, D. Mounted upon, and in direct electrical connexion with, the usual current-collector pole, bow, or plough of each vehicle is a metallic rubber 4, Figs. 7 and 10, which is adapted to engage one of the insulated conducting-strips 5 mounted at a suitable distance from the track points upon, or close to, the feed-conductor 19. Each strip is connected to one of the solenoids 7, 10 adapted to operate the points. According to which of the routes A, B, C, D the vehicle is to take, so will the position of the rubber 4 vary, and consequently the conducting-strip with which it engages. The rubbers 4 comprise a rubbing head 14 screwed into the end of a helical bronze spring 15 carried by a metal support 12. The contact strips are made curved to assist the rubber in keeping at their centre portion. The supports carrying the contact strips are fixed to the feed-wire 19 by a conducting angle-piece 20 over which the flanges of the collecting wheel run as shown. A modified arrangement is also described by which a greater number of routes can be served without increasing the number of contact strips or rubbers. In this arrangement the rubbers are made of various lengths and the strips are placed at corresponding distances from the collector. In a further modification, the rubbers are made rigid and the contact strips displaceable. In the last modification, the rubbers may merely act mechanically to close a circuit controlling the points.

Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 13,894. Brown, T. P. April 25, [Convention date]. Winding - mechanism. - In an automatic musical instrument, means are provided for moving the supports of the music-roll either in the same or opposite directions. The flanges of the take-up roll are moved apart during rewinding, and brakes are provided for the music-roll and take-up roll spindles. The music-roll is held by supports 21, 26, which are urged in the same direction by springs 25, 27. A sliding rod 36 carries a pivoted arm 34, which bears against the support 21, and is connected bv a link 33 to a lever 31, secured to the support 26. A lever 38 is provided at one end with an arm engaging a slot in the rod 36, and at its other end bears frictionally against a plate 43. By operating the lever 38, the supports 21, 26 are simultaneously moved in the same direction in order to adjust the tune-sheet laterally. The rewind device 17 controls a clutch 16 in the usual manner and also a lever 45, which operates brakes 46, 47 adapted to press against disks 48, 49 respectively on the shafts 21, 23. In the position shown, the brake 46 bears on the disk 48, but, when the rewind device 17 is operated, the lever 45 removes the brake 46 from its disk and applies the brake 47 to the disk 49. The lever 45 also shifts a sliding rod 51 against the action of a spring 55. The rod 51 is connected by levers 52, 53, pivoted at 52<1>, 53<1> to sliding flanges 54 on the take-up roll, so that its movement causes the flanges 54 to move outwards and reduce the friction on the tunesheet during rewinding. During the winding movement, the tune - sheet is yieldingly held between the flanges 54.

Abstract: 1658. Jackson, F., and Pearson, G. E. Jan. 23. Switches, quick-action; spring straining atrangements.-A switch is given a rapid stepby-step movement in either direction by means of springs and a pawl which is connected to the switch member and the operating - member in order to lock the switch member until the springs are sufficiently stressed. The disk 8, Figs. 1 and 2, which carries or is connected to the switch, is arranged co-axially with the operating-disk 4. The latter disk carries a pin 6, to which two springs 11 are attached, their other ends being fixed to pins 9, 10 on the disk 8. The springs rest in an annulus formed by flanges on the disk 8. A pin 7 on the disk 4 and a pin 14 on the disk 8 enter slots in the ends of the arm 13, which carries a pawl 12 to engage notches 3 in a fixed member 2. When the disk 4 is rotated in either direction, one of the springs 11 is compressed and the other is stretched. The pin 7 moves the end of the arm 13 until the pawl 12 is released from the member 2, whereupon the springs rotate the switch disk 8 rapidly and the pawl 12 drops into the next notch 3 under the influence of the spring 16. This action is repeated to give a step-by-step motion. In a modification, plates and bars may be used instead of disks. The parallel bars 4, 8, Fig. 5, work in guides and are connected by a spring 11, as shown. A movement of the bar 4 to the left compresses the spring and releases the pawl 12, so that the bar 8 advances one step rapidly.
